"What Top Can I Wear To Work As Well As A Nightclub?"

Revealed: The Top That Impresses Everybody

Q: I am around 6'1", so I'm pretty tall, and I was wondering what would fit my body size and shape? I have an average body, not too wide and not too thin.

A: Be thankful you’ve been blessed with some extra inches. Unfortunately, the biggest problem we find with guys like you is that their jeans look like they’re ready for a 50-year flood. Better brands of denim offer a range of lengths, and some even cater to the tallest specimens among us, with uber-long legs that the vertically challenged would no doubt need to get hemmed. Once you’ve found a pair that does the job, hang dry them to avoid unwanted shrinkage.

Q: I am a corporate lawyer and a slob. Actu

ally, that’s not true: I just stopped investing in clothes when I had kids because every time I bought something new it would be ruined in less than 60 seconds. Now that they are a bit older, I need to fix the situation. But how do I transition? When people immediately go from slob to suits, they inevitably are asked if they are interviewing or going to a funeral. How do I transition back to the old me but in a subtle way? I am 40.

A: If your suit is saying interview or funeral, it’s probably black and boxy. Stick with navy and gray in cuts that fit and flatter — in short, slimmer than you’re used to wearing. Then, don’t be afraid to mix and match shirts and ties in bold patterns. Or better yet, ditch that neck noose all together and opt f

or a pop of color with a pocket square.

Q: Will longish hair still be popular for young men in the 2010s alongside whatever new styles may come into fashion?

A: Men’s haircuts rarely change all that much. Sure, we’ve seen the surfer come and go. And we’re still dealing with the remnants of the faux-hawk, but unless you’re talking about an homage to the late Kurt Cobain, maintaining longer locks is A-OK. Ultimately, the look you do choose should consider your hair texture, the amount of hair you have and the shape of your face — all areas of expertise for the seasoned stylist. Beyond that, it’s up to you.
